Dangerous Bikes - Painfully Slow service and poor communication

3 weeks and still no bike or refund!

Placed an order through cycle to Work scheme. Received a defective bike which was dangerous and not road worthy. Brakes completely not working and the threadding holding the front brakes to the fork was gone. Nathan agrees to send out a replacement bike as soon as faulty bike is collected.

Fedex do not turn up on scheduled day. Waste another day using family to stay in. Bike is finally collected but Nathan says to wait until bike arrives. 4 days later still no update from Nathan other than still waiting for the bike to arrive with him.

I call up speak to Sam. I then get told due to my bike being discounted originally they'll no longer honour the replacement bike but a repair with no clear time limit. Speak to bike manufacturer and make me aware they dont have replacement parts available.

Send an email to Nathan, he doesnt have the courage to reply back for delivering a terrible service. Escalate to a complaint but guess what, its the same team that deal with complaints and doesnt go higher. Now awaiting a cancellation. They've also rebranded to uprise so be aware.

Good afternoon, I am sorry to read of your experience and appreciate that the issue must have been frustrating.

I have followed up with the team on your behalf and it seems the issue here was that the bike ordered was a unique, nearly-new bike sourced by yourself directly from the manufacturer. As this is an extremely uncommon practice the team did not realise this until the bike was returned to us. That's why in this instance, it was impossible to replace the bike as the pricing offered was based on it being a one-off bike which made our options for resolving this extremely limited, especially as the manufacturer was not able to source parts for repair which we would happily have done. That being said, I would still like to offer my apologies for the confusion in your initial discussion with the aftersales team as regardless of the reasons behind it, I fully appreciate your frustration that ultimately you weren't able to get the bike that you wanted through the cycle to work scheme.

I know that the team looked into any possible channels to fix this for you and had it not been such a unique set of circumstances I'm sure we could have got this done but we are equally disappointed that on this occasion we were not able to find a satisfactory resolution.

Great experience all round!

The entire experience was excellent and seamless.

From the point of ordering my bike to it being delivered took a total of 4 days - which included the internal approval process with my employer.

The staff were very helpful when speaking to them to confirm the order and arranging delivery.

Delivery was super-quick using an overnight option at no extra cost

Customer service.

Customer service was excellent, when I spoke to the gent delivering the bike and had a question about my pannier rack he told me he would find out. Within 10 minutes after he left I received a phone call from the office and a nice lady solved my query. Ordered my bike through the cycle to work scheme on a Monday, everything sorted and bike delivered on Friday. Very impressed with the service I received.

The overall experience was good but there was an unnecessary delay in receiving the goods which to date I still have not. This is an issue with suppliers and supply chain and possibly because we are island-based.

Thank you for your review, I can see that for this cycle to work order you have chosen to order and collect the goods from a local bike shop? If you have still not had an update then please get in touch as letters of collection for the goods were issued on September 26th.

Thanks again for this great opportunity and choice on cycle products.

Great packaging and everything arrived smoothly and on time. The bike required a bit of assembly but very easy to follow. I'm glad they called a few times as well to confirm the size and I'm happy to go with the size I went with as I'm right in the middle size wise and decided to go smaller which was the right decision! Great service and if I need a new bike or anything will definitely use them again!
